INÉRCIA

An exhibition by Alexandre Estrela. As a follow up to the researches explored in previous shows “Radiação Solar e Forças Cósmicas” and “Putting Fear in its Place”, Alexandre Estrela establishes now a bridge between the behaviour of the images and its own perception.The search for natural inertias in the moving image, the retribuition and recognition of its phisical properties , the autonomy of the images and perceptive illusions, are the starting point for Alexandre Estrela’s regular indoor research. These problematics are now transfered to the open field, to the capturing Nature.
Starting from a group of mobil art residencies proportioned by ZDB and followed by Natxo Checa, the show we are presenting here is a new trail, a sort of a challenge proposed to Alexandre Estrela, that will end with a show in Lisboa.
Still waiting for other exotic destinies, the MeetFactory is delighted to present the ideas resulting from the first journey spent in São Miguel’s Volcano located in the Portuguese archipelago of Açores.
To obtain conditions of presenting an image considering its animicity, the one that repticiously hides behind its integrity, we shall establish an ultraperspectic(1) methodology, obligated to identify the points of tension in the image’s resistance to manipulation as in the inertia points of Nature.
In this possibility we present another knowledge announced by nature: the fall to a new dimension objecting to linear, rational, and cartesian apprehension, originary of human experience.
